dNTP imbalance and DNA double strand breaks in mouse FM3A cells and the mechanism of cell death
Abstract
The mechanism of intracellular deoxyribonucleoside-triphosphate (dNTP) imbalance death of mouse mammary tumor FM3A cells was studied. When the cells were exposed to 5-fluorodeoxyuridine, deoxyadenosine, or 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine, dNTP pool imbalance resulted. The imbalance was followed by DNA double-strand breaks and subsequent cell death. The DNA double strand breaks were directly examined by means of orthogonal-field-alternation gel electrophoresis (OFAGE). Fragmented DNA band appeared to be approximately 100-200 kbp in size. The bases of 5'-termini in the DNA were cytosine and thymine. The imbalance induced endonuclease has been isolated by DEAE-agarose column chromatography.
